Uhura is memorable as one of the first reasonably prominent black characters in SF and Soolin is a good example of a post Alien heroine. Neither of them had as much devellopment as perhaps they should, but Soolin wins because she stands up to Avon wheras Uhura never did to Kirk._________________Everything in life is only for now.

Can't remember Soolin ever having to fight with her hands.Uhura got her hands dirty a few times,one solo fight in an episode when the bridge crew was forced to battle other captive "thralls".Can't remember the name of the episode but I remember they had some kind of obedience collars around their necks.
